Korean shamanism has a long-standing history with its
roots in the agricultural state of ancient time. Korean shamanism involves
praying for blessings by worshiping objects indigenous to the region, including
mountains, soil, monumental trees, and water. Korean shamanism perceives that
nature is under the influence of a supreme power or god. Even today, people in
some rural regions worship the old zelkova trees as the guardians of the village.
